Default ieupdate.js with Flash Detection?
Ok, I have the ieupdate.js stuff working with normal flash sites, but when I turn on the flash detection, the code changes...and I'm not sure how to adjust the "IE Fix" to get it to work correctly. With this code, it works in IE, but not in Firefox or Netscape. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, just not sure what.

First I put the script in the head tags:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"></script>

Then added the startEeFix and endIeFix lines.


Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- 
var hasRightVersion = DetectFlashVer(requiredMajorVersion, requiredMinorVersion, requiredRevision);
if(hasRightVersion) {  // if we've detected an acceptable version
    var oeTags = '<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">startIeFix();<\/script><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"'
    + 'width="750" height="460"'
    + 'codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab">'
    + '<param name="movie" value="frontpage.swf" /><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000099" />'
    + '<embed src="frontpage.swf" quality="best" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#000099" '
    + 'width="750" height="460" name="frontpage" align="middle"'
    + 'play="true"'
    + 'loop="false"'
    + 'quality="high"'
    + 'allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"'
    + 'type="application/x-shockwave-flash"'
    + 'pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">'
    + '<\/embed>'
    + '<\/object><!-- --><script type="text/javascript">endIeFix();<\/script>';
    document.write(oeTags);   // embed the flash movie
  } else {  // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
    var alternateContent = 'You need to update your flash player.'
  	+ 'This content requires the Macromedia Flash Player.'
   	+ '<a href=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflash/>Get Flash</a>';
    document.write(alternateContent);  // insert non-flash content
  }
// -->
</script>
    
<noscript>
	// Provide alternate content for browsers that do not support scripting
	// or for those that have scripting disabled.
  	<div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF">You need to download Flash Player 8 to view this website.</font>
  	<a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflash/">Get Flash</a></div>  	
</noscript>

and here's the ieupdate.js file

Code:

var bo_ns_id = 0;

function startIeFix(){
if(isIE()){
document.write('<div id="bo_ns_id_' + bo_ns_id + '"><!-- ');
}
}

function endIeFix(){
if(isIE()){
document.write('</div>');
var theObject = document.getElementById("bo_ns_id_" + bo_ns_id++);
var theCode = theObject.innerHTML;
theCode = theCode.substring(4 ,9+theCode.indexOf("</object>"))
document.write(theCode);
}
}

function isIE(){
// only for Win IE 6+
// But not in Windows 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000
var strBrwsr= navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if(strBrwsr.indexOf("msie") > -1 && strBrwsr.indexOf("mac") < 0){
if(parseInt(strBrwsr.charAt(strBrwsr.indexOf("msie")+5)) < 6){
return false;
}
if(strBrwsr.indexOf("win98") > -1 ||
strBrwsr.indexOf("win 9x 4.90") > -1 ||
strBrwsr.indexOf("winnt4.0") > -1 ||
strBrwsr.indexOf("windows nt 5.0") > -1)
{
return false;
}
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}

I think I figured it out. I changed the code in the head tag to:

Code:

<!--[if gte IE 6]><script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"><![endif]--></script>

and it seems to be working so far.
